{"product_id":"exodus-goliath-cd-digisleeve","title":"EXODUS - Goliath CD (digisleeve)","description":"\u003cp\u003eTop-charting originators of thrash EXODUS have emerged hungrier than\n ever in 2026. Resurging at full force with their 12th studio album and \nNapalm Records debut, Goliath (out March 20, 2026), the band reinforces \ntheir eternal foothold at the top of thrash metal's hierarchy with 10 of\n their most diverse, anthemic emissions to date. Further fueled by the \nwidely embraced return of iconic late-era frontman Rob Dukes – first \nappearing on 2005’s Shovel Headed Kill Machine – the album boasts what \nthe band describes as the performance of his life. Goliath is EXODUS’ \nmost collaborative record in their four decade-plus history, featuring \nsongs written by several band members and guest contributions from Peter\n Tägtgren (Hypocrisy, Pain) and violinist Katie Jacoby. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGoliath wastes no time proving as massive as its name, with a \nsinister introduction opening “3111” that strikes dissonant chords \nbefore careening into breakneck thrash intensity. Ode to owning one’s \nown volatility “Hostis Humani Generis” features a palpable lyrical \ndelivery from Rob Dukes that cuts like crystal amid frenetic riffs, \nbefore rolling into “The Changing Me”. The track’s introductory notes \ncascade into hair-raising rhythms, forming one of the band’s most \nanthemic offerings – blending menace and melody with the skyscraping \nscreams and cleans of guest Peter Tägtgren (Hypocrisy, Pain) and \nharmonic dual axe acrobatics from resident guitar legends Gary Holt and \nLee Altus. “Promise You This” incites mosh pit treachery with explosive \nenergy, cyclonic riffs and turbocharged soloing from Holt, prior to \ncolossal title track “Goliath” simmering the tempo down with winding, \nmalevolent leads, towering drums and ominous string work from Katie \nJacoby coupling with intricate guitars. The album standout showcases the\n band’s ever-increasingly dynamic approach, even decades into their \nhistoric reign. Tracks like “Beyond The Event Horizon” and “2 Minutes \nHate” provide EXODUS’ trademark deadly dose of thrash theatricality – \nthe latter boasting one of the album’s most grimacing, grooving pit \nprimers – while undeniably 90s-tinged metallic charm attacks alongside \ndrummer Tom Hunting and bassist Jack Gibson’s unmistakable rhythmic rage\n on tracks like “Violence Works”. The nearly eight-minute epic “Summon \nOf The God Unknown” turns the danger dial to max capacity, setting the \nstage with a wicked introductory passage before traversing a variegated \npassage of trudging riffs and heavy metal melody. Power packed closer \n“The Dirtiest Of The Dozen” wraps the album on a manic high, showcasing \nEXODUS pulling out all the stops on all instruments. Flurried dueling \nsolos, an isolated bass excursion, rigorous drum dexterity and a blend \nof both gritty vocal passages and cutting chants combine to serve as yet\n another prime example of the band’s ever-evolving musical mastery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProduced, mixed and mastered by Mark Lewis (Whitechapel, Nile, \nUndeath), Goliath beams with the explosive authenticity that has set \nEXODUS eons apart from their peers since the release of their debut, \n1985’s groundbreaking thrash blueprint Bonded By Blood. 40 years later, \nEXODUS are steadfast in their refusal to settle for the safety of \nmediocrity, fearing nothing and no one and continuing to forge their \ntrademark just as resolutely as they did in their fruition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTracklist:\u003cbr\u003e\n1. 3111 (04:08)\u003cbr\u003e\n2.
